Career

Jones grew up in Long Ashton, a small village on the outskirts of Bristol. He attended Backwell School and played at the Southampton Academy in Bath.[ citation needed ]

Jones played on loan for Scottish Premiership club St Mirren during the 2018–19 season, but the agreement was terminated by St Mirren in January 2019. [3]

On 2 July 2019, Jones signed a season-long loan with Gillingham. [4] During his spell with the club, he made 36 appearances in all competitions. [5]

On 4 September 2020, Jones joined League One side Hull City for an undisclosed fee, signing a one-year deal. [6] He made his debut for the club on 8 September 2020, in the 1–2 loss to Leicester City U21 in the first round match of the EFL Trophy. [7] On 18 May 2021, the club announced that they had exercised the option of a one-year contract extension for Jones. [8] On 9 June 2021, Hull City announced that Jones had signed a new two-year contract, with the club having the option of a further year. [9]

On 23 April 2022, Jones scored his first goal for the Tigers, netting the second of three goals in Hull's 3–0 home win over Reading. [10] The following season, on 2 May 2023, Jones was decorated with Hull's Player of the Year award, as decided by head coach, Liam Rosenior. [11] On 17 May 2023, Jones signed a new three-year deal with the club. [12]

Style of play

Having been used mostly as a defender prior to his arrival at Gillingham, Jones spent most of his time with the League One club playing as a midfielder. [13] However, since moving to Hull City, he has returned to being a defender. [12] In 2023, then Hull coach Liam Rosenior highlighted Jones' interceptions, blocks, and ball-playing abilities as being amongst his best attributes. [12]
